The band opened the concert with the song “Alapaap” at around 8:00pm this evening. The band sang more than 10 songs (15 songs according to some bloggers who watched the concert) before the scheduled 30-minute break. Ely Buendia’s sister, Lally went up the stage and said, “Because of the emotional and physical stress that he’s experiencing, we apologize for cutting the concert short. My brother had to be rushed to the hospital for medical attention. Again we apologize and we thank all of you for coming here tonight.” The other members of the Eraserheads were also onstage when the announcement was made.

According to Ronald Esguerra, MTV Philippines Director for Marketing, Buendia is in stable condition. Buendia suffered a heart attack in 2007.

Just two days before the much-awaited reunion concert, Buendia’s mother passed away.

Carrie Underwood is with James Denton and Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives in a skit.
